About

I'm a Staff Software Engineer passionate about building high-performance, media-rich iOS applications. My expertise lies at the intersection of performance and polished consumer experiences, where I blend deep technical knowledge of low-latency systems with a focus on smooth, responsive interfaces[cite: 1].

Currently, I lead mobile technical direction for the ride-hailing vertical at Careem (An Uber Company). I focus on scaling critical user journeys for millions of users, evolving our architecture with SwiftUI and UIKit, and integrating AI-driven workflows to accelerate engineering productivity[cite: 1].

In the past, I've engineered everything from real-time video ad SDKs at Smaato to performance-critical transformations at YogaEasy. My journey has taken me through diverse settings—from leading mobile teams for premium aviation clients to building products from scratch as a solo developer.

When I'm not at the computer, I'm usually exploring local coffee cafes, playing games with kids, or practicing my newest hobby, calligraphy.

Software Engineer · EzyApps (formerly Vozye)

Started off as a graphic designer then jumped to learning iOS development to later developing 4 products in a span of 3 years, individually. Really like the learning environment at Vozye and the independence which made me develop so many skills during these years.
